Family Retreat on Cross Lake: Boat, Swim & Relax!

We had a great week on Cross Lake this year! Our kids and grandkids were out on the water and in the water every day: swimming, kayaking, boating, tubing, fishing, boarding. We jumped in a few times, too! The weather was hot and perfect for being in the water, but the house was cool and sitting on the deck in the evening or by the fire just ended the perfect day each day!, An eagle tends to watch over the water right outside the house, so watching the eagles each day never got old. The owners, Craig and Valerie, couldn't have been more accommodating! They have everything supplied in the home that we could have possibly needed, and the rooms are wonderfully decorated with beachy and seascape themes! Cross Lake is just one of many connecting lakes. We only cruised around a couple. Hopefully we can make Cross Lake our annual lake retreat tradition and keep exploring the White Fish Chain! Thank you Craig, Valerie and Erin for making 2024 extra special for our family's lake adventure!!

We stayed at Peaceful Pines for a week with my husband's family. We brought people from ages 11-77, and each enjoyed our time at this PRISTINELY maintained cabin! The kids loved kayaking, my mother-in-law had plenty of quiet places to read, and we loved all the fun activities there were to do both at the cabin and in town! The lake is extremely clear, with a sandy bottom and no weeds! Close to restaurants by boat or car (or walking, for that matter!). Everything you can think of for entertainment is there; Craig and Valerie thought of it all. Our entire family definitely recommends spending a week at Peaceful Pines! We made the best memories!

We had a wonderful stay. The location was perfect, the house/cabin more than met all of our needs and the hosts couldn't have been better. 5 stars without question.

Our family of 10 had a wonderful week at the cabin. Very clean, with everything we could ever need in the kitchen. Very nice deck overlooking the lake with table and chairs which extends the dining area. Very nice fire pit area, Plenty of chairs there as well. The kids loved making s’mores almost nightly. Very nice sandy beach that all enjoyed as well. Don’t let the fact the property owner lives on the property as well. Great folks, and very helpful. Simply put we really can’t say anything negative about this property. We are looking forward to booking it again for next year. Thanks again for allowing us to enjoy your cabin. Sincerely, Mark and Kay

The lake water was so clear and a beautiful! The swimming area was pretty much all sandy bottoms. We spent tons of time on the water and kids played in the sand right by the lake too. This cabin is in a great location, so close to shops, grocery store, liquor stores, and restaurants. The cabin is fully stocked with any and everything you would need. The only minor thing is there is no ac in the basement but did stay cool enough with lots of fans going.

We had such a great stay at this cabin. The grounds were very well kept and the house very clean. They really have everything you would want to have at the cabin - kayaks, paddle boat, tons of water floaties and noodles and lots of beach towels! We were able to use the powerboat lift for our fishing boat which was great and also there was enough space on the long dock to tie up our pontoon. The beach was very clean with a nice sandy bottom. The firepit up by the house was stacked with firewood for our first fire. The view was absolutely beautiful watching the sunset over the water while up at the fire pit. The owners were great! They are super friendly and available if anything came up. The location was perfect - a quick 5 minute car ride to the grocery store, but the cabin also was tucked back in the woods where there was no road traffic noise. We absolutely loved our stay and would recommend to anyone looking for a cabin up in the Crosslake area.

We so appreciated the friendliness and helpfulness of the owners. Just wished the kitchen and living room spaces were larger.

We were blown away by everything. Craig and Valerie were amazing hosts. All they wanted was for us to have fun and did we ever. Nine adults and 2 babies fit nicely into the home and dinners on the deck were amazing. It was everything we were looking for and more. Clean, spacious, private - going back next summer!

Perfect lakefront cabin in the Whitefish chain for family vacations. Cabin was well stocked- kitchen & grilling supplies, plenty of beach towels, bath towels, and even things like paper towels and laundry soap. We had plenty of space to spread out as a group of 8. The deck and dock were amazing to watch the sun set every night! Craig and Val were very friendly and visited us several times throughout the week to check-in and chat :) As a Vrbo employee, I approve! Easy check-in/out, sparkling clean, and a lovely time!

Perfect in every way. Exceeded our expectations. Cabin, location, and hosts. We hope to come back. Kids loved fishing off the dock, and also below the dam, which is a short walk away. Adults enjoyed evenings sitting around the fire. Sunsets were beautiful.
